William Shakespeare's Star Wars

Fan fiction and parody is very popular these days. It's all over the Internet, and some of it can be quite pornographic, like Spock doing Kirk while eating Gorn eggs and Tribble sliders, or so I hear. In fact, it's what spawns other work of fiction, like the 50 Shades of Grey books, which were written by a woman who first was trying to write erotic Twilight fan fiction. Fan Fiction is even coming to theatres; along with 50 Shades, there's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. That means even classic books are not safe from this sort of fan worship.

   This book is something I wouldn't want to see in film, but I'd love to see it arranged as a play. It combines the iambic pentameter of Shakespeare's works with the classic George Lucas Star Wars Trilogy. This covers only Episode IV: A New Hope. Yet, I have a feeling Empire and Jedi are going to be getting the same treatment very soon.

    For someone who is a die-hard Star Wars fan and an adamant hater of Shakespeare, this was brilliant! I even loved the illustrations which combine A long Time Ago, Far, Far Away chic with Elizabethan Era costumes. (Note the cover below.) For the devoted fan of Star Wars or the fan of a bawdy good time with Romeo and Juliet, this is the book for you.

WORTH CONSUMING! 

Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
